History: Years ago, by his own account, Daniel Radford was an enforcer for the Silvermane family of the Maggia. At some undisclosed point in his career, he volunteered for experiments to grant superhuman powers, but something went wrong. Radford spent years in a coma as his body adjusted and mutated, growing a foot taller and packing on a large amount of mass. When the lab performing the experiments was shut down for various laws it had broken (including being a veterinarian's office doing surgery on Maggia enforcers without a license), Radford's life support was cut by the scientists and his body dumped in Lake Michigan.
Despite all that, he survived; he claimed he woke up the moment he hit the water, and swam to shore. During his coma, he had lost two years of his life, being declared presumed deceased; he found that, because of his size, none of his old friends recognized him. Returning home, he found his wife with another man. Radford burst in and almost killed the other man until his wife talked him down; to his relief she recognized him and wanted to help him. With her help, he managed to settle things legally.
Still, he felt he had a score to settle with his old employers, the Silvermanes. At the same time, he was approached by Cornelius van Lundt to join the Zodiac Cartel; as a member of the Zodiac, he took the identity of Leo. With van Lundt providing initial financing, Leo began to take over large sections of the Chicago underworld. This has brought him into conflict not only with Silvermane but also the adventurers Ant-Man, Wasp, Iron Fist, and Iron Fist's allies, Misty Knight and Colleen Wing.
Leo joined the Zodiac in their scheme to create a force field over the island of Manhattan. Despite his misgivings, he sided with Tausus's faction when Scorpio and half the Zodiac fled. Leo was arrested and is presumably awaiting trial.

Role-Playing Notes:
Of all the Zodiac, Leo is one of the more honorable ones, preferring to deal straight with allies and enemies alike. He will always uphold a debt, which is why he sided with Taurus against Scorpio; he felt he owed Taurus a debt for helping him get started, a debt he now feels is fulfilled.
